Risk score

8/10Critical

Assessment across data handling, compliance, security and transparency.

Overview

Claude is Anthropic's conversational AI, positioned as a safety-forward alternative to ChatGPT. It covers writing, research, analysis, agentic tool use, and software engineering via Claude Code, with an industry-leading context window and strong coding benchmarks. Available in Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise tiers, plus the Anthropic API. Team and Enterprise include SSO, audit logs, a DPA, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 coverage, and a HIPAA-ready path. Since September 2025, consumer Free/Pro/Max plans default to training on user chats with a 5-year retention window unless the user opts out.
